Look at this pic of Nicole at a charity event yesterday and you'll see what I mean. (Feel free to ignore the headband, which clearly not all of us are going to be able to pull off, at least not without making people question our mental stability.)

And here's how she looked at Coachella a few days back.

Nicole Richie has always had fantastic waves, but she's taken them from piecey to very poufy this spring. How sexy is this amped-up version of wavy hair? It makes me want to tease mine up next time I practice with my hot rollers and run a brush through for that slightly fuzzy finish. There would also be approximately one entire can of hairspray involved. I think there's just something about warm weather that brings out every girl's inner Brigitte Bardot, and that's definitely who Nicole is channeling in this second pic.

How do you like soft, brushed-out looking waves? Do you prefer yours more defined?
